The burning question*: Is this a 'press' or a 'cupboard'?

This and every Monday, let TheJournal.ie distract you from the ‘serious’ news with one of life’s REAL dilemmas. (*not really)

WE KNOW HOW you feel. The week looms ahead and you have a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing questions…

What’s it going to be?

Poll Results:

B - Press (4308)

A - Cupboard (1790)

Can't we all just get along? (441)

A - Cupboard
B - Press
Can't we all just get along?

Disclaimer: When there is a hot water cylinder in aforementioned storage space, it is ALWAYS a hotpress. End of.
